I started by watching videos, and I chose 10,000 combat power.

Chapter 120 The Imperial Seal of the State, Car Accident

The next day, the morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Luo Fei opened his eyes.

He lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and remained quiet for a few seconds.

Then the system is triggered in your mind.

[A divine choice has been triggered today.]

[Option A: Obtain the Imperial Seal (carved by the First Emperor from the He Shi Bi jade, inscribed with the eight characters "Received the Mandate of Heaven, May Your Reign Be Long and Prosperous"; later, the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty took it with him and committed suicide by fire at Xuanwu Tower, thus destroying the seal. Select this option to restore it to its state before destruction).]

[Option B: Obtain the "Suihou Pearl" (a treasure of the State of Sui during the Spring and Autumn Period, known as one of the "Two Treasures of the Spring and Autumn Period" along with the He Shi Bi jade. According to records, the Marquis of Sui encountered a giant snake that had injured him. He applied medicine to the snake to save it, and later the snake returned with a bright pearl in its beak. The pearl was over an inch in diameter, pure white, and glowed in the dark, capable of illuminating the entire room.)]

Luo Fei's gaze narrowed slightly.

Both of these are truly priceless treasures.

The Imperial Seal of the State...

That was a symbol of imperial power forged by the First Emperor.

From the Qin Dynasty to the Later Tang Dynasty, for more than a thousand years, countless emperors were obsessed with it.

Some say it was destroyed by fire.

Some say it was secretly hidden away.

But for more than a thousand years since then, no one has seen the real Imperial Seal of the State.

Luo Fei did not hesitate any longer.

I choose A.

The words fell.

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

A jade seal, smooth and lustrous like cream, appeared in his hand.

Five intertwined dragons are carved on it, their forms fierce and lifelike.

One corner was missing, which was perfectly repaired with gold.

The bottom of the jade seal has eight seal characters.

May you receive the mandate of Heaven and enjoy longevity and prosperity.

Luo Fei stared at the jade seal in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

Whispering in the mouth.

"I……"

He shook his head and put the jade seal into the ring.

I got up, washed up, and went downstairs.

There was a noise coming from the kitchen downstairs.

My aunt is making breakfast.

The aroma of fried eggs wafted over, mingling with the delicate fragrance of rice porridge.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin were already seated at the dining table, looking down at their phones. When they saw Luo Fei come down, they looked up and greeted him.

"Good morning, brother."

Luo Fei nodded and sat down at the dining table.

Luo Yumei brought the porridge out of the kitchen and placed it on the table.

She looked somewhat tired.

Luo Fei glanced at her.

"Auntie, you must be tired from working so hard at the company these past few days?"

Luo Yumei smiled.

"It's alright, it's just that I have to go to a lot of places."

She sat down and ladled out a bowl of porridge.

"Yesterday I looked at two more factory buildings. One was in the East Development Zone, a good location but ridiculously expensive, not worth it at all. The one in the old industrial zone in the South of the city was cheaper, but the factory buildings were almost twenty years old, and the paint was peeling off. Renovating would be a huge expense."

She sighed, her brow furrowed.

"I'm still undecided about which one to choose."

Luo Fei listened without saying a word.

He lowered his head and took a sip of porridge.

Then he suddenly spoke.

"Aunt, I have an idea."

Luo Yumei immediately looked up at him, her eyes filled with expectation: "What are your thoughts?"

Luo Fei said.

"You can't handle all the company's affairs by yourself. Find someone to help you."

Luo Yumei was stunned for a moment.

"Help? You mean hiring?"

"Okay." Luo Fei nodded. "Find someone trustworthy to help you with some things. You take charge of the big picture, and let him handle the specifics."

Luo Yumei thought about it.

"That's one way. But who should we ask? I'm not entirely comfortable trusting outsiders..."

Luo Fei interrupted her concerns.

"I have a childhood friend named Liu Qiang. He sells cars at a 4S dealership and has been doing it for several years. He's definitely capable. He's also a reliable person; we grew up together, so I trust him. What do you think?"

"Let him come to the company as a vice president, he can help you run errands, negotiate business, and manage people, so you can relax a bit."

After listening, Luo Yumei's eyes slowly brightened.

"That chubby little boy who always followed you around when you were a kid? That's a good candidate, definitely reliable."

She thought about it for a moment, then hesitated.

"But he was doing so well at the 4S dealership, would he really want to come to our small, fledgling company?"

Luo Fei wasn't sure either.

"I'll call him and ask him in a bit."

Luo Yumei nodded.

"Alright, you can ask him first. If he's willing to come, I'd be more than happy to."

After finishing breakfast, Luo Yumei hurriedly went out.

"Xiaofei, I have to go take care of something. I'll be back later."

Luo Fei nodded.

"Be careful on the road."

The two younger sisters and Chu Yue had almost finished eating. After washing the dishes, they went to the yard to exercise and digest their food.

Luo Fei then took out his phone, found Liu Qiang's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice, then I answered it.

"Brother Fei?" Liu Qiang's voice came through, tinged with surprise. "What's up so early in the morning?"

Luo Fei began with pleasantries.

"Qiangzi, where are you?"

"Inside the shop, just opened, getting ready to wash the car," Liu Qiang joked with a smile. "What's up, buying another car?"

Luo Fei smiled as well.

"It's not about buying a car, I have something important to ask you." Luo Fei's smile faded. "My aunt owns a company that makes hair growth products, and they need someone trustworthy to help them. They'd like to invite you to be their vice president."

There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone.

Then Liu Qiang's voice rang out, tinged with uncertainty.

"Vice President? Brother Fei, you're kidding me, how could I possibly handle that..."

Luo Fei interrupted him.

"You've been in sales for so many years, you're skilled in the business and quick-witted. The company is just starting out, so you can go all out."

Liu Qiang remained silent for a while.

"Brother Fei, let me think about it..."

Luo Fei said.

"Don't worry about the pay; it'll definitely be better than selling cars. Plus, it's our own company, so you'll feel more secure working there."

Liu Qiang remained silent for a few more seconds.

Then he spoke.

"Okay, Fei-ge, I'll listen to you and resign right away."

Luo Fei smiled.

"Okay. I'll have my aunt contact you later, and you two can discuss the details."

I hung up the phone.

Luo Fei put away his phone and went into the yard.

Luo Ying and Zhao Lin were already waiting there.

The two stood in the morning light, gazing at him expectantly.

"Brother, can we start now?" Luo Ying asked.

Luo Fei nodded.

"bring it on."

He walked to the center of the yard and began to instruct his two younger sisters on their movements.

The sun gradually rose higher.

Sweat gradually soaked through his clothes.

Time passed second by second.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Luo Fei was correcting Zhao Lin's posture when his phone rang.

He took out his phone.

Caller ID: Lao Wu.

His heart skipped a beat; Old Wu usually wouldn't contact him unless there was a specific reason.

The call was connected.

"Feed?"

Old Wu's voice came from the other end of the phone, urgent and heavy.

"Mr. Luo, something has happened."

Luo Fei's eyes narrowed slightly.

"explain."

"Ms. Luo Yumei was just in a car accident."

Luo Fei's pupils contracted slightly.

"How is he?"

"She seems fine. Her clothes are a bit torn, but there are no visible external injuries. She's just a little shaken, but she's still conscious. Our people have taken her to the hospital, where she's undergoing a full examination."

Luo Fei remained silent for a second.

What were the details of the car accident?

Old Wu's voice deepened.

"It was a large truck. At an intersection, the truck ran a red light and crashed directly into Ms. Luo's car."

"Her car was thrown more than ten meters by the impact and is now a total loss."

"The nearby security personnel... had been secretly following us. Upon noticing the situation, they immediately accelerated and rushed forward, attempting to ram the truck."

Old Wu paused for a moment.

"Unfortunately, it didn't work. The truck was too heavy, and our vehicle was overturned."

"One of our comrades died on the spot, and the other is seriously injured and is being rescued."

Old Wu's voice was filled with self-reproach, "It was our dereliction of duty."

Luo Fei's grip on his phone tightened slightly.

"Where is the driver who caused the accident?"

"They got away." Old Wu's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "They hit someone and then got into a getaway car and fled. Our men are cooperating with the police in a city-wide manhunt, but they were prepared, and we haven't caught them yet."

"This was clearly premeditated; it wasn't an ordinary traffic accident."

"That truck was using a fake license plate. It was waiting at the intersection for Ms. Luo's car to slow down when it suddenly accelerated and crashed into her."

Luo Fei remained silent.

He wasn't worried about his aunt's safety; she had a protective jade pendant that could ward off fatal injuries.

But the loss of the security personnel ignited a fire of anger within him.

"Mr. Luo?" Old Wu's voice came through the phone. "I'm on my way to the hospital now. Should I send someone to pick you up?"

Luo Fei spoke, his voice calm.

"No need. I'll go to the hospital right away."

He hung up the phone.

He turned around.

In the courtyard, Chu Yue and her two younger sisters were watching him.

His eyes held a mixture of doubt and curiosity.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Luo Ying asked.

Luo Fei looked at them.
